Hello,
The location of the thermostat for most vehicle.
Stand in front of the car with the hood open, you'll see a black hose hooked to the upper side of the radiator.( about 2 inch in diameter, newer vehicles about 1 and 1/2 inch, and newer small cars about 1 and 1/4 inch. ) Follow the hose to the other end, it connects to the thermostat housing. The thermostat is inside of the housing.( the hose usually goes to the air intake manifold, but some housings are on the side or back of the engine. )
Follow the top radiator hose back to where it connect to the engine. There is a housing there that the hose connects to. There is two bolts you have to remove to get the housing off and the thermostat is underneath the housing. 4 thumbs up is appreciated if this helps.
Trace the water hose back towards the engine. When it stops you have located the thermostat. Remove and place in some boiling eater. If it opens the thermostat is not defective.
